All this crude oil squabbles in Nigeria would be solved only if Nigeria can increase its oil production to atleast 5million bpd, considering Joint ventures and product sharing agreements with the IOC’s.

NNPC is not producing enough per OPEC quota. They are not producing for in-house refining. They can’t supply to our local refineries and yet they wouldn’t allow local refineries to buy directly from Local producers of oil.

Summary: NNPC is contributing atleast 60% of the financial problems Nigeria is having today.

We should not be a member of OPEC in the first place. It's stupid logic to be exporting our crude when we produce only 1.2 million barrels per day, out of which we have only about 300,000 barrels at our disposal after setting financial obligations,and then importing over 1million barrels per day of crude from abroad with all the attendant higher costs to run our refineries including Dangote 650 000 barrels per day mega refinery.

USA produces 13 million barrels of crude per day, they are not a member of OPEC, Russia produces over 10 million barrels of crude per day, they are not member of OPEC, even Norway produces close to 2 million barrels per day, they are not exporting their crude. We that is barely producing 1 million barrels, 60% of which is our share, we pride ourselves as OPEC number.

I no blame the fake pastor, na his stupid followers I blame

You can't blame the followers. They are desperate, ignorant and desperate. It's like blaming romance scam victims for being scammed by yahoo boys.

There is freedom of Religion and Association in Nigeria so anybody can establish a worship center under the guise of Christianity, Islam, Trad Religion or any other religion.

Matter of fact many Babalawos & juju worshippers have repackaged as Pastors/Imams/prophets/MoGs to remain in business.

As per the soap, NAFDAC certified it just like any other soap. There is no special ingredient that makes it a miracle soap.
Whoever is buying the soap is doing so with the belief that it possesses supernatural powers.

&The prophet should have turned a blind eye but it's obvious both he & VDM like publicly & thrive on it, even if it is negative publicity.

NAFDAC certified the soap for cleaning of body and not for miracles and supernatural powers. That's a misleading claim and in other climes you could be sued for making false claims.

Lance008:
Bro even scam Dey Islam
But Dey hardly insult imam
If Una no buy he church members go buy more over they are not complaining

So in effect you are supporting 419 (receiving money under false pretences) as long as its done in the name of God?

bemeruca:
you said this

so you are implying there exists more. So you are telling us QQ and QT might exist we just haven't found them yet

We were talking about chromosomes. There are two chromosomes as far as sex is concerned - X and Y. A digital combination of these two determine inside the cells determines the sex of an individual. Sometimes the cell acquires an extra X or Y chromosome.
I have never heard of Q or T chromosome before.

Do you even understand what we are talking about?

bemeruca:
Lol, So are you going to tell us QQ or QT exists? hahaha

What's QQ and QT?

basilico:
They are there. They are rare. You want them to have their own Olympics?
The two men are XY and should not be fighting women XX. Apparently that is very difficult logic to you.

But I initially you disregarded them completely, insisting that only XX and XY exists.

For your information the prevalence ratio of Klinefelter syndrome is 1:500, meaning 0.2% of the population on average. So yes it is rare but but not so uncommo .

Are you guys now suggesting chromosonal testing be done on every sport to determine which category to place athletes?

basilico:
Please redifine chromosonal makeup.
If someone has XY in his genetical formula is he a man. If someone has XX is she a woman
Can an XY be a woman?

What of those with XXY chromosome (called Klinefelter syndrome)?

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president.

And it gets even better...

"We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress."

"We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them."

"That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads.

The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

basilico:
She used to be Indian American before she became a black woman.
No one doubts she has African blood, only that she used to identify as Indian, now is a black person. Explain this headline or forever hold your peace

Sensational Headline. That headline would attract more readers for Business Insider highlighting her indian heritage than anything about her black heritage. For example, the newspaper cannot write "California Kamala Haris becomes the first black American Senator"

basilico:
Nonsense. She has always identified as an Indian American.

https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-2024-elections/4280#131255078

That's because she was raised by her mother and had strong ties to her maternal grandparents. Kamala also was never too far from her fathers black roots.
She attended Howard college, a historical black college.
She was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a black fraternity at college.

she was elected president of the association of Black law students at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law

She had alway identified with her black ancestry as she was raised in a black neighbourhood.

Trump's is just race baiting in order to excite his base by questioning Kamala's racial and ethnic background.

So , Niger Deltans have special market where they buy things cheap

Imagine. People are talking about a cup of rice costing N1500, a loaf of bread costing N1500, cost of one egg N150, even cost of one cup of garri is now N150, and someone is talking electricity projects, bridges and culverts. Nigerians are crying "ebin kpa wa" and this Minister yapping about NDDC projects, na NDDC projects we go chop?

IjeBos:
Trump Today: Harris isn't Black

Trump Advisor in 2020:

Blackness can be defined in terms of ethnicity (ethnic background) or simply skin colour or tone, and Kamala Harris satisfies both terms.
Her father is Jamaican from African roots, so she is black from her paternal roots.

Her mother is Indian from Thulasendhrapuram, a tiny village in the southern Indian city of Chennai. Their peoples ethnic identity is Tamil and their skin colour is generally darker that the rest of India, being the most southern region.

In terms of race Tamil people are Dravidians.

So if we are to go strictly racist, Kamala Harris race roots are negoid and dravidian

MrLibrarian:
you're stupid.
Did you read where she said she did her NIN yet they still barred her line?

She should check again. It seems they have unregistered her.

frog12:
they extend NIN registration to july 31st, but today na july 29. wetin dey happen?

I don't think this is about NIN registration. My MTN line has sim registration on it. I checked both on MTN app and on their website and it says registered, but they still blocked my line.

Edit: when I noticed my MTN line was blocked last night, I checked the MTN app and it said SIM registered. I checked again just now and it has been changed to NIN submission pending.
Na wao o.
Me, I do not have the time or power to go to MTN office and queue like I want to watch Arsenal vs Chelsea match in Stamford Bridge.

lexy2014:
Am finding out by asking you.

Where in these areas can you get a 2 bedroom flat for 800k?

I surprise o. Even here in ikorodu, a nice 2 bedroom will cost you between N500 to N800k depending on area and nearness to access road. In surulere, nice 2 bedroom will set you back at least N1m.
When you consider cost of food, groceries, utilities, transport, school fees, etc., 800k per month will barely be enough for a family with 3 children to live a comfortable lifestyle.

A company as big as NNPC can't create a site that can withstand traffic 🚦....


Site created in Malta

They are probably using cheap shared hosting.

Here is another speech that made the same prediction 5 months ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah2ICO3XVRo?si=EUjcXgMeD5O3EUIT

Start watching from 6:00 minutes.

Nikki Haley did a Nostrademus during the primaries when she warned that if the Republican party should nominate Donald Trump as the presidential nominate, President Biden would step down and the Democratic party would nominate Vice President Kamala Harris. She further predicted that Kamala Harris would beat Donald Trump.

Honestly,we have Problems in Nigeria?
Why can't Lagos State,Rivers, Cross -Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States - Form Alliances - where great Fisheries -Foodstuffs can be made- through the Collaborative Efforts of the Governors,to Feed Nigeria but we only see negative dimensions in Politics!
Yes,the Southerners can do it!
With The Lagos- Calabar - High Ways Construction going on,more job Opportunities should be Cropping Up alongside the Corridors.
• If the Late Mormar Gaddafi of Libya, could dig the Desert 🏜️ to plant 🍑,like Apple,etc,then what is wrong with Nigerian Leaders,to feed Nigerians- with Agricultural stuff, and with lower Prices?

Same problem with crop agriculture; insecurity on the seas by bandits aka pirates, expensive loans due to high interest rates as fishing boats that is capable of plying the high seas are very expensive, corruption in transportation just like on roads (in the high seas you will have to settle navy and marine police.

What portfolio does this dude given in this ungodly administration...[color=#990000][/color]Why sudden attack on critics of this administrationFunny enough he is seeing now coming out quickly to defend this government against his PDP members....Some people don't have an iota of integrity at all....Is this not same maggot that attacked Buhari's administration...

Social media Secretary to president Bola Tinubu. His job description is to attack any critic of the president particularly on social media.

If Reno is half as intelligent as he pretends to be he would have know that the 2014 figures are far better than this when translated into real naira value adjusted for inflation that is roughly seen in the dollar depreciation over the years.

Has the value of our naira depreciated more than 3 times since 2014?
Is it correct to say that N100 in 2014 is worth more than N300 today

It is obvious Reno Omokri is on the payroll of the APC government. All the data and statistics he is spewing is just government propaganda without any real basis.

Below is the actual link to the National Bureau of statistics

https://tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/balance-of-trade#:~:text=Nigeria%20recorded%20a%20trade%20surplus%20of%202158250.70%20NGN%20Million%20in,Million%20in%20October%20of%202023

The figures were just cooked up. What's the meaning of 1516.3% increase in the shipment of energy? What energy? Are they refering to LNG? In fact our LNG exports have declined in recent years. From the report, we have other oil products at 195.6% increase? What is meant by other oil products? Crude oil at 162.5 when our crude oil production (most of which had been signed away) is currently at 1.28milion barrels per day?

Imagine Reno Omokri talking about a GDP increase of 3.1% (which actually falls below IMF forecast) in an economy with 30% interest rate of 34%. https://www.channelstv.com/2024/07/17/imf-slashes-nigerias-economic-growth-forecast-to-3-1/#:~:text=The%20development%20comes%20on%20the,latest%20data%20from%20the%20NBS.&text=File%20photo%20of%20containers%20seen%20in%20a%20port

samwash:
Abeg Ogbeni I nor understand waytin you write up there.

Even the Britain Spanish & French even Portuguese you are talking about, after the abolishing of slave trade, they deported the slaves that was with them to their ancestral home, the ones they could not ascertain or were to able to sent back home were adsorbed into their culture or home.
That's why you see Blacks all over Europe & America.
Do you think the North & South America are originally have Blacks ?
In South America, Argentina didn't want anything to do with Black in their community, so they massacre all the Blacks in a gruesome way, eliminating anything called Black man.
You have to read the historic documentation of all these to understand by point of view.

Deported kwa? Is that ignorance or lies? I can understand your love for Messi, but it should not make you retort to lies.
No one was deported in those countries you listed, the freed slaves were given the option to remain or be returned to their homeland (that is if they could locate their homelands). Those that could not were taken to Liberia or Sierra Leone.

Argentina was and is reported to have an elimination policy for former Black slaves, by deportation, dehumanisation or outright elimination. How else would you explain the fact that all their neighbours have huge Black population, but Argentina virtually has no significant numbers.

LZAA:
Wait what!😄😄😄
Veron is black
As black as you and I just with a lighter shade of melanin
Again every one knows Argentina has a bad rep with racism
Less however is how very little people know that countries like Peru,Uruguay and Chile are far worse

What makes Juan Sebastián Verón black?

Adakintroy:
So were is the similarity in descent ( race) history or culture. The only United front there is one territory. Which is forced relocation. Never came about from origin.

Similarity in descent (race), history or culture depends on how far back you wish to go. If you go back 200,000 years, then we all have the same mother - mitochondrial Eve that lived in South Africa - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

Adakintroy:
National teams don't need diversity it why we have clubs. The French team is too diverse to claim nationhood. Mostly from other place. Their celebration may be as a white superior nation we can still dominate sport with no outside help. My interpretation.

A nation is not necessarily a geographical expression. Online Oxford dictionary defines a nation as "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory."

Nation represent people and not location.

HAD3S:
This's not good at all. I don't like racist and would not talk down on someone for who they are.


Their worst mistake was dragging Nigerians into this. Nobody dares to drag Nigerians into a troll match and wins. I trust my country men, dem go don unleash hell on this Argentines by now.


God bless this Federal Republic of Nigeria.

They dragged Nigeria into it due to their ignorance. They were actually trolling Mbappe and by extension the French national team. They don't exactly know Mbappe parent's roots outside they are Africans. They know his father is black African and so choose the most popular black nation - Nigeria, and they have played against Nigeria numerous times at the World Cup. They seem to have no idea or have forgotten of Cameroon. Also they mistake Algeria with is actually the roots of Mbappe's mother for Angola.

obaidan:
Blaxks can cry unnecessarily at times

Blacks can cry unnecessary at times? Try chanting antisemitic chants.

Nigeria to be a net exporters of petrol by December when Nigeria's total crude production is 1.28 barrels per day, and NNPC share is 700,000 barrels per day? Also remember that Nigeria has signed away most of our own share of the crude in contractual agreements for the next 5 years. Even if all our refineries are working including Dangote's 650,000 barrels per day refinery, where will we get the crude to refine?

allabig:
so the goal is to become rich here ?

If spending 3 to 4 hours everyday praying and speaking in tongues does not make you rich, then what is the purpose outside making you feel high and euphoric?

Muslims shouting "Allah akbar" at the top of his voice multiple times gives them euphora and a high.
Buddhists chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum" multiple times gives them euphoria and a high.

Cele Christians shouting holy Michael or el jah multiple times puts their mind in a state of euphoria or trance.

Same thing with pentecostals screaming Jesus or some other gibberish, it only induces euphoria and a trance. The same effect of being on hard drugs.

intruder15:
I tap into your testimony. I pray to get the gift of speaking in thongues. Amen.

What are the benefits of speaking in tongues outside feeling euphoric? Will speaking in tongues makes you as rich as Elon musk or even Dangote?
